He is smiling, teammates from Sparta came to support him right at the hospital bed. But Jakub Pešek is not laughing. A bad step during the duel in Mladá Boleslav will result in several months without football for him.
“It looks bad with Pešek, we’ll keep our fingers crossed that it turns out well,” coach Brian Priske guessed immediately after the winning match.
The midfielder sprained the ligaments in his knee. Pešek already treated such an injury during his engagement in České Budějovice. Conservative treatment helped him then, so he tried the same procedure. It was clear from the beginning that if it didn’t work, he would have to have surgery.

“At the moment, I cannot say how long his injury will last. Even with regard to the player. But it is clear that he is not available now and will not be available in the near future,” Priske indicated after the last match in Teplice that the worse scenario is becoming a reality .
After a series of four draws, Sparta is only fourth in the league table, once again struggling with a full-fledged team. Since the beginning of the season, the newly elected captain Ladislav Krejčí Jr. has not started even once, Čelůstka, Haraslín and Vindheim have also been out for a long time.
